I've gotten to the point where I can connect to one database using the 3.0 LINQ T4 Templates, and have been wooed by the promise of being able to connect to multiple databases in one applica...
I am using T4MVC, and I can't use a pre-build event to run TextTransform.exe as it relies on EnvDTE, and must be run with Visual Studio as host. If I have run custom tool once, it works nicely because it marks itself dirty when its executed (AlwaysKeepTemplateDirty = true), but when you open the solution, it doesn't run on build, so I w...

I have the Clarius T4 code highlighter installed, so my T4 template is colored, but I ca...

I've been using CodeSmith for the past 2 years and love what it does for me. However, I also know about T4 which is built in to Visual Studio and can do some pretty cool stuff too.

System.Reflection.Assembly.Load(System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path)) So this is a work around to not being able to use T4 to reflect or read other files in the project or solution without locking the binaries from this post.
